FAQ:Paradox 9 Service Pack 4 (WPO2K SP 4):2000.09.22 WordPerfect Suite 2000, Service Pack 4 ============================= 0. Contents ============================= 1. Introduction (what it is) 2. Process (how to install) 3. Examples (other people's experiences) 4. Corel Release Notes ============================= 0.1 Notes ============================= 1. FAQ Version Number: 1. 2. This FAQ is composed using 10 point Courier. Some items may have been laid out to form columns. If you find such items in apparent disarray, please adjust your font settings. 3. This FAQ will hopefully include some examples illustrating experience gained from people's experience in installing the Service Pack. If you feel that you have an insight to add to this, please contact the editor (see the posting source). ============================= 0.2 Contributors ============================= Mike Irwin [CTech] ============================= 0.3 Attachments ============================= None. Please note that the FAQs for SP2 and SP3 both contain attachments that may be of use. ============================= 1. Introduction ============================= The English version of WordPerfect Office Suite 2000 (WPO2K) SP4 is now available from Corel Customer Service. For their locations, please see the list at http://www.corel.com/support/reach/index.htm An overview of the upgrade is available at http://www.corel.com/support/wordperfect/sp4.htm and the release notes at http://www.corel.com/support/wordperfect/sp4_notes.htm Please note that this Service Pack involves a complete re-install of your software, and so is available only on CD. ============================= 2. Process ============================= 1. If you have Paradox Runtime only, then please do nothing. This Service Pack does not concern you. 2. At this time there are no individual patches or Service Packs for any products in the WPO2K package. Service Packs are for the whole Suite, and will simply not upgrade parts that are not present. 3. Currently-installed levels. Service Pack 4 includes all parts of packs 1, 2, & 3. If you have regressed some part of a previous Service Pack, it is conceivable that you might want to try this again. If so, be sure to back up your entire installation of WordPerfect Suite 2000. 4. Please read all of the release notes (below in section 4) very carefully before installing this service patch. You will have to uninstall your previous copy of WordPerfect Office 2000 using the Corel uninstall found in the WordPerfect Office 2000 setup and notes start menu. You will also have to restart your system before installing Service Pack 4 5. If you have Paradox 9 installed WITHOUT WordPerfect Office 2000 Suite (WPO2K), but own WPO2K, then you should be able to install SP4 with no problems. Please note that the above is based on _current_ knowledge. While it is unlikely that any points here will "go away", there may be extra items to add. If such come to light, we will attempt to codify them and add them here. Corel has indicated publicly that once WPO2K SP4 is released work will resume on production of version 10. ============================= 3. Examples ... ============================= This section will be filled with anecdotal reports of experiences that may seem relevant to users. Please do not take them as examples of the "Ultimate Truth", but of ways in which other users have dealt with matters. When you install Service Pack 4, the authors would be pleased to hear of any experiences - good and bad - that you may have, for inclusion here. Anonymity on request is guaranteed. ============================= 4. Release Notes ============================= Release notes for WordPerfect® Office 2000 US and International English - Service Pack 4 PLEASE READ ALL OF THE FOLLOWING NOTES CAREFULLY BEFORE INSTALLING THIS SERVICE PATCH.

Terminal Server Installation for Windows NT® 4 After selecting WordPerfect Office 2000 Setup from the Autorun screen in Windows Terminal Server, you will be prompted to select "Install" mode. The install window may appear behind the Autorun screen. The task bar will have an option called "Corel Setup"—select this item and the window will appear and prompt you for your selection. When Installing WordPerfect Office 2000 to a system that supports Windows Terminal Server, follow these steps: NOTE: You must upgrade Windows NT 4 Terminal Server to Service Pack 5 prior to installing WordPerfect Office 2000. If you try to install Digital Signatures (Microsoft® Internet Explorer 5) on a Terminal Server machine without Service Pack 5 installed, the operating system may become unstable or experience a system error. To install WordPerfect Office 2000 on a Windows Terminal Server, the administrator must perform a stand-alone, full installation of WordPerfect Office 2000 on the server. To install WordPerfect on Windows NT Terminal Server Edition: * Log in as "Administrator" * Perform installation of choice * The following key will be added to the server's registry: [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\WindowsNT\ CurrentVersion\TerminalServer\Compatibility\ Applications\wpwin9] (DWORD) Flags = 0x00000408 * If "Terminal Server" is selected and if all the required components were not installed, Install-As-You-Go will prompt the user to contact their local Administrator for help installing the component. * To create a new profile based on this profile for a user who does not already have a central or local profile: * Log in to a workstation as a generic user (one that does not have Administrator rights in the domain). Set up your desktop and change the settings to your liking. Log out of the workstation. * Log back into the workstation as someone who has Administrator rights to the local computer, as well as in the domain. Select Control Panel | System and click the "User Profiles" tab. Select the user profile that you created in the previous step. * Click "Copy To". A dialog box will appear, allowing you to specify where the profile is to be copied. It will also allow you to specify who is Permitted to Use this profile. To create the Default User Profile (base profile), permit the group "Everyone" to use the profile. Next, in the blank box where it says "Copy To:", specify the server name and the share name, as well as the name of the profile you want to copy to. * Copy this profile to c:\wtsrv\profiles\default user share. * In the "Permitted to Use" section, specify "Everyone". Note: Log on as Administrator. In the control panel, open the Borland Database Engine ( BDE ) administrator. Click the Configuration tab and select "System|INIT". Change the local share value to "True".

Most notably, the directory structure for the applications has changed. Many Accessibility related enhancements have also been made. Installation Templates: If you have downloaded WordPerfect templates from the OfficeCommunity.com Web site, you will need to save them to a temporary location before removing and reinstalling WordPerfect 9. If you have created any custom templates, you will also need to move them over to this new temporary location. Once Service Pack 4 is installed, place these Projects & Templates in the following directory: \Windows\Profile\UserName\Application Data\ Corel\PerfectExpert\9\Custom WP Templates (where username is your name).

Open CorelCENTRAL Alarms from the Start menu * Due to Windows Terminal Server install limitations, a .wav sound file will not initiate within CorelCENTRAL Alarms * Due to the naming rules in Netware, CorelCENTRAL should only be installed to a directory that conforms to the 8.3 DOS naming conventions.
